lederhosen, IMHO you overlook the key issue. If the crew, individually or jointly, have reach the limit of their mental capacity in attempting to understand the situation, then there is no further mental resource either to intervene with a warning, or achieve and execute a decision to go around.
These situations represent a boundary of human capability in aiding safety, thus interventions must be found elsewhere.
Experience is just one of many contributing factors in human behaviour, but as we have difficulty in defining and teaching experience, and fewer opportunities of ‘being there’, these circumstances should be of some concern particularly with the apparent reducing emphasis on training and skill level.
The industry has to reconsider the operating environment in which the human is expected to manage and the demands being made on human mental resource, both in knowledge and skill, as well as how close modern complex operations are to an acceptable safety boundary.
